What is the purpose of putting a shaunt capacitor on a line?
- A.
To dampen ferroresonance
- B.
To increase line current
- C.
To correct power factor
- D.
To eliminate the 9th harmonic
Correct Answer
C. To correct power factorExplanation
Putting a shunt capacitor on a line is done to correct power factor. Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used. When the power factor is low, it means that the electrical system is not efficiently utilizing the power being supplied. By adding a shunt capacitor, the reactive power component is reduced, which improves the power factor. This helps in minimizing energy losses, improving voltage stability, and increasing the overall efficiency of the electrical system.Rate this question:

If work is to be done on the secondary circuit of a CT with the primary circuit still carrying current you must..?
- A.
Work must not be done if the primary so the CT is still carrying current
- B.
Be careful and use rubber gloves
- C.
Short and ground the secondary terminals of the CT
- D.
Open circuit the CT and stay clear of the terminals
Correct Answer
C. Short and ground the secondary terminals of the CTExplanation
When work is to be done on the secondary circuit of a CT with the primary circuit still carrying current, it is necessary to short and ground the secondary terminals of the CT. This is because the secondary circuit of a CT is designed to carry a very low voltage, and shorting and grounding the terminals ensures that any residual current is safely discharged. This prevents the risk of electrical shock or damage to equipment. It is important to take this precautionary measure before performing any work on the secondary circuit.Rate this question:

How is heat from the pressure and friction of oil dissipated
- A.
Through the valves
- B.
Through the hose
- C.
Through the hydraulic oil reservoir
- D.
Through the radiator
Correct Answer
D. Through the radiatorExplanation
Heat from the pressure and friction of oil is dissipated through the radiator. The radiator is designed to remove heat from the hydraulic oil by transferring it to the surrounding air. As the oil passes through the radiator, the heat is transferred to the metal fins of the radiator, which increases the surface area available for heat dissipation. The surrounding air then cools the metal fins, effectively dissipating the heat from the oil. This process helps to maintain the optimal temperature of the hydraulic system and prevent overheating.Rate this question:

The purpose of a ballast in a street light is to limit the current and transform the voltage. By limiting the current, the ballast ensures that the street light operates within its designed parameters and prevents any damage that could be caused by excessive current. Additionally, the ballast transforms the voltage to match the requirements of the street light, allowing it to function properly.Rate this question:

What varies the ration by reducing or increasing the effective turns in the primary or secondary winding
- A.
Dynamometer
- B.
Neutral lenght
- C.
KVr rating
- D.
Tap changer
Correct Answer
D. Tap changerExplanation
A tap changer is a device that allows for the adjustment of the number of effective turns in the primary or secondary winding of a transformer. By reducing or increasing the effective turns, the tap changer can vary the ratio of the transformer. This adjustment is useful in situations where the input or output voltage needs to be changed to match the desired electrical requirements. Therefore, a tap changer is the correct answer as it directly relates to the variation of the ratio by adjusting the effective turns in the winding.Rate this question:

What is the turns ratio of a 7200/240 volt transformer
- A.
30:1 or 30/1
- B.
10:2 or 10/2
- C.
10:0 or 10/1
- D.
5:1 or 5/1
Correct Answer
A. 30:1 or 30/1Explanation
The turns ratio of a transformer is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding. In this case, the turns ratio is 30:1 or 30/1, which means that there are 30 turns in the primary winding for every 1 turn in the secondary winding. This ratio determines the voltage transformation between the primary and secondary sides of the transformer.Rate this question:

How is the turns ratio determined
- A.
By the number of turns in each of the windings
- B.
By the number of windings in the transformer
- C.
By the type of turns in the windings
- D.
By the type of windings in the transformer
Correct Answer
A. By the number of turns in each of the windingsExplanation
The turns ratio of a transformer is determined by the number of turns in each of the windings. The turns ratio is a measure of the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding. It determines the voltage transformation ratio between the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. By increasing or decreasing the number of turns in the windings, the turns ratio can be adjusted to achieve the desired voltage transformation. Therefore, the correct answer is "by the number of turns in each of the windings."Rate this question:
